White-Haired Older Sister Snow Empress, Little Loli Ice Empress's Worries!

Extremely Northern Land.

Because Ice Empress and Snow Empress had a very good relationship, their residences were not far apart. She arrived after just two hours.

Snow Empress's palace was located in the heart of the Extremely Northern Land. Built from ice, it featured enormous ice pillars and gates inscribed with mysterious runes. The interior was spacious, with a snow statue of Snow Empress in the main hall, a resting area covered in snow velvet, and a cultivation area rich in Soul Power. Snowflake ice carvings and snowman sculptures adorned the place, displaying both mystery and extravagance.

The instant Ice Empress stepped into the palace, she saw Snow Empress reclining lazily on a resting platform covered in snow velvet. She possessed peerless beauty, her skin as fair and crystalline as ice and snow, seemingly radiating a faint glow.

Her eyes were a deep blue, like the purest ice lake in the Extremely Northern Land, containing endless majesty and coldness.

Her figure was graceful without losing its nobility. Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, as though a goddess of ice and snow had descended.

Most importantly, a Diary Copy identical to hers floated before her!

"Little sister, you're here? What happened that made you come find me in such a hurry?" Snow Empress asked lazily from her reclining position, her cool voice reaching Ice Empress's ears.

"What happened? Sister, don't you have anything to say about this Diary Copy?"

Ice Empress came before Snow Empress and displayed her own Diary Copy as well. "Look, I have one too. I thought you might have one as well, Sister."

Snow Empress smiled and finally sat up. "Little sister, there's no need to be so anxious. We should just wait and see."

Ice Empress said, "How can I not be anxious? Based on our cultivation progress, Sister, you'll face your tribulation before I do. Are you confident?"

Snow Empress simply shook her head calmly. "No."

"Then why aren't you thinking of a solution? If this Diary Copy gives us Soul Power rewards every month, then perhaps we won't even need ten thousand years. We may have to face our tribulations in just a few hundred—or even a few dozen—years!"

The Soul Power rewards given by the Diary Copy were based on a certain percentage, with the maximum not exceeding one percent of one's own Soul Power.

Not to mention Snow Empress—just with Ice Empress's own 380,000 years of cultivation, if she received a one-percent Soul Power increase a few times, she could raise her cultivation to 390,000 years within a decade or even just a few years!

That was because her Soul Power base was already large enough!

If she was like this, then Snow Empress needed no further mention!

Seeing Ice Empress so worried, Snow Empress could only sigh. "When the time comes... if I truly have no confidence in breaking through the 700,000-year bottleneck, perhaps I'll choose to take human form. Though that isn't my intention, it may be the only way."

But then Snow Empress pinched Ice Empress's tender little cheek and smiled. "But isn't there still a turning point? This diary isn't only capable of increasing our cultivation. It may also increase our comprehension or the chances of a breakthrough. At worst, we can take human form and go find Dai Yichen. Didn't she mention the God Creation Plan ten thousand years from now in the diary?"

Ice Empress nodded troubledly. "Yeah, he did mention the God Creation Plan, but he didn't explain it in detail. And now that Tian Meng is dead, we can't possibly become Dai Yichen's martial souls like he said, can we? Besides, he might not necessarily become a god."

Snow Empress lightly flicked Ice Empress's little head and smiled gently. "Little sister, I think eating all those ice silkworms has made you stupid. Since Dai Yichen knows everything, how could he possibly not have a way to become a god? Besides, he possesses something called a system. Is that something an ordinary person could possess? If he ultimately doesn't become a god, then that can only mean—"

"Mean what?" Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress with an adorably confused expression.

"It means he doesn't want to become a god. Or rather, he looks down on those so-called godly positions," Snow Empress said softly.

"That can't be, right? That's godhood! After becoming a god, you can live forever and possess tremendous power! Unless there's something wrong with his head, he'd definitely choose to become a god!"

Dai Yichen: ...

"Speaking of this, it makes me furious. The Plane Rules are far too unfair to our soul beast race. We have to undergo a tribulation every hundred thousand years, yet even if we survive ten tribulations and gain a million years of cultivation, we still can't become gods and attain immortality. Meanwhile, those human Soul Masters only need to obtain our Soul Ring Soul Bones to easily increase their strength."

"I remember it wasn't like this before. Just who changed the laws of heaven and earth to make them so disadvantageous to the soul beast race?" Ice Empress ground her Little Tiger Tooth in fury.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were about to head to the Mimetic Cultivation Room together when Diary Copies suddenly appeared before both of them. A newly unlocked function was displayed on them, and the scene showed the Zhu family sisters, with even Dai Yichen himself among them.

"Yan Yan, you—"

"Lingling, you too—"

The two spoke in unison, both looking at the Diary Copy in front of the other.

"Lingling, when did you get this Diary Copy? I didn't even notice these past two days." Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised.

It was not that she couldn't stand Ye Lingling having a Diary Copy. On the contrary, Ye Lingling was her only truly close friend at the academy. The other students were more or less afraid of her because of her martial soul, while some approached her with ulterior motives because of her grandfather. She was sick to death of it.

Ye Lingling's situation at the academy was not much better. She was practically like an invisible person, and combined with her outwardly aloof demeanor, she had few close friends around her.

Over time, the two had become good friends. By coincidence, their dorm rooms were right next to each other as well.

Ye Lingling said faintly, "It appeared suddenly sometime over the past two days."

Dugu Yan smiled. "Then this will be a little secret between the two of us. Hehe."

At that moment, Dugu Bo happened to return from Sunset Forest. The Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Poison within him had flared up again these past few days, and he could only rely on the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress it.

He finally felt much better now, though a trace of fatigue still showed on his face.

"Yan Yan, are you two going to cultivate?" Dugu Bo saw his granddaughter the moment he returned and could not help smiling.

When Dugu Yan saw that her grandfather had returned, she asked Ye Lingling to wait for her nearby, then jogged over to Dugu Bo. "Grandpa, where have you been these past few days?"

Dugu Yan put her hands on her hips to show her dissatisfaction, though her tone also carried a trace of concern.

Her parents had died when she was very young. Her grandfather was her only remaining family in this world.

Dugu Bo chuckled. "Yan Yan, I went out to look for some new medicinal herbs these past few days. What is it?"

Medicinal herbs?

Only then did Dugu Yan recall the immortal herbs mentioned in Dai Yichen's diary. She asked, "Grandpa, did you happen to find any particularly strange herbs these past few days? The kind that are colorful and oddly shaped, the kind that look really high-grade at a glance?"

Dugu Yan could not directly say the words "immortal herbs," so she blurted out every descriptive term she thought might fit.

Dugu Bo's first thought was of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. There truly were colorful and strange herbs nearby, though he did not recognize most of them. He shook his head and said, "I didn't see any. What is it? Why did you suddenly bring this up, Yan Yan?"
